Someone told me long ago
There's a calm before the storm,
When it's over, so they say,
It'll rain a sunny day,
I know; shinin' down like water.

[Chorus:]
I want to know, have you ever seen the rain?
I want to know, have you ever seen the rain

Yesterday, and days before,
Sun is cold and rain is hard,
I know; been that way for all my time.
'Til forever, on it goes
Through the circle, fast and slow,
I know; it can't stop, I wonder.

[Chorus:]

Yeah!

[Chorus:]
